Southwest Storytellers Contest Will Showcase Influencers' Passion For Travel And Adventure

Have you been to the mountains in Colorado, stepped in the sand of the San Diego beaches, danced to the music in Nashville, or heard the bustling streets in New York City? Now you can cross these trips and more off your travel bucket list if you are a Southwest Airlines Storyteller and Influencer.

We are giving influencers the opportunity to compete for the grand prize of up to12 round trips (awarded as 24 Southwest flight e-passes valid for one-way travel on Southwest) through a new influencer competition.

The qualifications are simple: you must be 21 years or older and have at least 2,500 Instagram followers. To enter the contest, Southwest Airlines wants to see our Customers' travel inspired photos. First, contestants should be sure to follow @southwestair on Instagram, and then post a photo and caption that includes @southwestair, the hashtags #SouthwestStorytellers and #Contest, and tells a compelling travel story. Contestants may enter the contest today through Monday, February 24, 2019.

Southwest will select 100 photos entered and will invite those contestants to fill out a survey about their social influence and Southwest affinity. Based on an extensive point system, 10 finalists will be chosen to then submit a portfolio based on a creative brief. A panel of judges from Southwest Airlines will review and select the prize winners. Winners will be announced on April 15, 2019. All of those in the top 10 will be eligible to receive a prize.

The contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia (excluding Alaska) who are twenty-one (21) years or older at the time of entry and have an Instagram account with at least two thousand five hundred (2,500) followers.
